As a Northwestern fan and someone living in Chicago, I can tell you that no one I've met from any Big Ten school here is even remotely excited about having Maryland join the conference. So meh.
How about Rutgers? Even more meh?
Btw, I love the marketing gimmick 'Chicago's B1G Team'.
None of the Maryland fans I spoke with at the ACC tournament were pleased with the move to the Big Ten. There might have been some but not in the random sample of ACC going MD fans I spoke with.
I think JDawg is right, it was likely a biased group in GSO; however, there seemed to be a lot of positive reminiscing, pro-ACC signs, and general sadness that they were exiting.
Everyone else did not hesitate to boo and relish the Derps exit.
